Inference – Surprise Birthday Party

SURPRISE BIRTHDAY PARTY

Flies hovered around the kitchen, looking for a suitable place to land.

Mrs Stevens carefully opened the hot oven and took out the two dozen small cakes inside. They were to be part of a surprise birthday party for her son, who would be home soon from school. After cooling the cakes by the open window, she began to decorate them with icing, cream and ‘hundreds and thousands’. Then she put them onto a large serving plate and took them to the dining table where she covered them with a brightly embroidered cloth over the cakes.

 

On the table were six cups and a similar number of knives, forks and serviettes. A birthday card with a picture on the front of a large cake with ten candles burning brightly sat at one end of the jarrah table.

 

Rain began to drip slowly down the drainpipe outside as Mrs Stevens removed her apron and hurried outside to the utility in the tin shed. Soon she was speeding down the rough and bumpy road to the bus stop. She was just in time to see a happy looking Shane waving goodbye to Mrs Johnson, the bus driver. Two minutes later he was even happier as he was joined by his unexpected guests at the dining table while Mrs Stevens began to make preparations in the kitchen for the evening meal.

How to be a good Prime Minister

To be a great prime minister of New Zealand comes with great responsibility.  Leading the country comes with great respect for the people and having strength.  Today I will be talking about raising the minimum wage, lowering food prices and making public health care free.

 

Raising the minimum wage 

Helps hard workers like your parents. But the new minimum wage payment for work has gone down by 4 dollars.

 

Lowering the food prices helps the poor and homeless buy food. I think they should lower the price for bread, milk and crackers. Because it’s too much money for people to afford more than four items. They need to lower the fast food restaurant because sometimes your not even buying a lot of food and it is still overpriced.   

 

   Making Healthcare free

This makes everything easier for the parents it helps them save money so they don’t have pay 50 dollars just to see the doctor. It should be free for kids and adults because we are all the same, If they lower the price for the health care they would save many lives and don’t even do it.

 

Roller Coaster Writing-

I’m standing in front of a colossal, twisting steel structure that seems to touch the sky. It’s a rollercoaster, and I’m about to experience the ride of a lifetime. As I step closer, the rumbling sounds of the coaster’s cars on the tracks grow louder, and my heart races with anticipation. My friends are just as excited, and together, we queue up. It’s finally my turn, and I hop into the coaster car, my heart is pounding.

In the cave there was a flood with crashing cars. But there was an earthquake happening as well so the superhero superman said “i will save you”. Then the roller coaster started going slow then fast 

Launching out of the building. We launched out of the building so fast I couldn’t see anything happening cause it was shaking too much and was dark. They sounded scared and nervous.

There were lots of twists and turns and loop de loops. It was pretty long, cool and fast. There was a cave you would start in and it was dark and you couldn’t see anything in there.
